I got into RPGs through a small black and white picture book. It was about an astronaut exploring a new planet, and you made decisions and turned to different pages based on those choices.

This prepped me for when I would discover Fighting Fantasy and Choose Your Own Adventure booksa s a teen.

And from there, I found the Fighting Fantasy RPG and Dragon Warriors, and persuaded some school friends to give it a try one lunch time.

I don't think I've experienced "bleed".

As I understand it, that's when emotions and such carry over into the real world in a troubling way.

I've felt emotions playing - like being creeped out playing a horror game, or frustrated at failure - but I don't think I've had that experience. But also, I don't seek immersion in ttrpgs, so maybe that helps?

18. The most memorable monster I've encountered in an RPG was the False Hydra. I can't say much about it, because you can only experience the awe and wonder once. Our GM handled it wonderfully and it was one of the most intense and confounding experiences of my gaming career.

If you are a player in a fantasy RPG and your GM uses homebrew content, please don't look up anything about it.

And if you are a GM who likes mystery and horror, check this out: https://goblinpunch.blogspot.com/2014/09/false-hydra.html

12. Have you designed a dungeon?

Yes, constantly. Free-form when my sister and I were tiny, then sheets and sheets of graph paper and keys and notes when I was in elementary school, and I am pretty sure I have never run a module as-written. This is my favorite, that I've modded several different ways over the last 40 years:
B2: The Keep On The Borderlands

....I'm not 100% sure? Maybe? I think so? If so it was a one-off, and there were probably spaceshipes and vector movement involved.

10. Have you played a journaling game?

"Castle of the Pearl" by Christopher Biffle came out in 1983. It was designed as a guided journal / self-help workbook, but it has a castle, and NPCs, and prompts, and promises adventure and self-discovery. If that's not a journaling game, I'll eat my bookmarks.

17. #GTKM #TTRPG I'm excited for a few games in 2023. I'm about to start playing in games of Cyberpunk Red and Kids on Brooms. And I'm writing a mystery for Brindlewood Bay that I might run at a local convention later this year.

I can't think of anything I've heard is due for release that thrills me, but as with videogames, I don't much look into things that aren't complete yet

16. Despite enjoying the work of several #TTRPG designers (and following them here on Mastodon) I don't go out of my way to collect games by them.

I already have a huge collection of games I'll never have the time to read, let alone run, so I only pick up games that particularly interest me, regardless of who wrote them.

Although seeing a familiar name means I'll at least look at the blurb/advert/etc to see if it's something I might want.

9 Favorite game for it's writing.

I'm reinterpreting this one as the game I've most enjoyed writing, and that's probably Playing Nature's Year. Between finding the right bit of poetry, to designing a new game every 6 weeks, to the essays that accompany each game, this is my favorite writing in a game.

PsiRun might be a better-written /game/, but Playing Nature's Year just holds something important to me.
